What is the ruling on equalizing gifts between male and female children?

Question : Yes.

Answer : Treating males and females equally in a gift of a sock is unjust. It must be as Allah Mighty and Majestic divided it: . This applies to a gift that is a grant. As for a gift that is the fulfillment of an obligation, meaning maintenance, justice is to give each person what he needs. Do you understand? For example, the boy might need a headscarf and a cap worth thirty riyals, while the woman needs a head covering and jewelry that might cost six hundred, seven hundred, or more riyals. So we do not say this is unjust, because this falls under the category of maintenance. Yes.
